Police of Armenia have prevented two suicide attempts on a bridge in capital city Yerevan, shamshyan.com reported.

On Tuesday at noon, police officers were on patrol on the Great Bridge of Hrazdan, which is more commonly known as Kievyan Bridge, when two persons approached them and reported that a man was threatening to jump off the bridge.

After about 20 minutes of negotiations, however, the police were able to persuade the man not to take this drastic step.

This person is a 27-year-old Yerevan resident, and he told police he wanted to commit suicide because he has social problems.

The police managed to prevent the suicide, in this case, too.

At the police station, this person said he wanted to commit suicide because of social problems.

He is a 60-year-old resident of Yerevan.
